Palana prayer times overview
For Palana it is important to use precisely the city's prayer schedule: prayer times depend not only on the clock, but also on latitude, longitude and the position of the sun.
Local time in Palana is 9 часов ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha are calculated based on this city's data specifically, not the country's average time.
Palana coordinates: 59.0842°N and 159.9562°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. This latitude is close to the white nights zone, so in summer the interval between Maghrib and Fajr may shrink considerably.
Palana prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. During the period of bright nights, it is especially important to monitor the Fajr and Isha times carefully.
Today in Palana 16 часов 12 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 05:19, while the evening prayer begins at 21:31. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
5 часов 44 минуты passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 21:31 and the morning Fajr at 03:15. For Palana this is an important reference for planning night prayers. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Palana there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
The summer light regime in Palana differs from southern cities: the night shortens, and this directly affects the night and morning prayer times.
If you plan your day around the Palana prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 03:15 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 21:31 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 23:28 the start of the night prayer.
The Palana prayer schedule is calculated according to the method of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the Russian Federation (SAM RF), using the Hanafi madhhab to determine the Asr time. The data is updated daily and takes into account the city's exact geographic location.

Questions about prayer times in Palana
Prayer times are determined by the sun's altitude above the horizon, which is unique for every geographic point. The calculation is affected by latitude, longitude and the established time zone. For this reason, even cities located in the same region have different values for Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. The more a city is shifted to the north or south, the more the daylight length, and with it the prayer moments, differ.
We update the schedule in Palana daily. The sun does not rise at the same time from day to day: the daylight length gradually increases from winter to summer and shortens from summer to winter. For this reason the Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha times shift slightly every day. The most noticeable changes occur in spring and autumn, so a daily check with the schedule is the best practice.
Yes, this schedule is also designed for those who fast. Suhur must be completed before Fajr (03:15) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (21:31) — at sunset. Keep in mind: these values shift daily throughout Ramadan, so it is advisable to determine the current time according to the new schedule every morning and evening.
The location of Palana at northern latitudes creates difficulty for the standard calculation. In the summer season the sun does not descend deep enough below the horizon, so the astronomical night becomes extremely short or entirely bright — the natural boundaries of Fajr and Isha cannot be determined in the usual way. Therefore, for such cities, a specially developed high-latitude adjustment is applied when setting the morning and night prayer times.
